Dhabkaaro: Day-Wise Box Office Breakdown

After debuting with Rs 45 lakh, the movie added Rs 55 lakh on Day 2, followed by Rs 85 lakh on Day 3, wrapping its first weekend at Rs 1.85 crore gross. It then recorded a significant drop on Day 4, grossing Rs 30 lakh, before a spike on Day 5 with Rs 50 lakh. Destructoid

The weekday bounce on Day 5 is an encouraging sign — it suggests the film is finding its audience through strong word-of-mouth rather than just opening buzz.

What to Expect Going Forward?

Based on current trends, the Deven Bhojani starrer is looking to wrap its first week around Rs 3.50 crore gross at the Indian box office. The movie should aim for a good growth in the second weekend. Most of its collections have come from Gujarat alone, which tells you there’s untapped potential if the film can spread further through word-of-mouth and OTT anticipation. DestructoidDestructoid

Besides Deven Bhojani, the film also stars Aarjav Trivedi, Tejal Panchasara, Kumud Mishra, and others. The movie garnered immense praise from industry circles — with Aamir Khan, Aashutosh Gowariker, and Shefali Shah among those praising the film and its performances.
